      Good to see. Don't understand people who use a company vehicle to earn their wages and they treat it like ****. My company vans got washed and waxed weekly. If you spend more hours in your vehicle that your house it should be slotless. I'd disciplne people for having dirty trucks / bans etc.

          Yep....plenty places like that.
          Never see them and they get their lackys to phone you.
          Stuart was hands on 24/7.
          He built that business up from nothing to what it is today.
          We were doing work others refused to do and he built his reputation as well as the business.

          It's actually sad to watch it decline with what's happened to him.

            Ffs. Think they would have known that before you got there

            I’ve got rear wheel steer, 360 cameras, proximity alerts the lot

            And I’m not ashamed to use it. It’s there to help and it does.

            My grandad drove class 1 for Christian Salvesen all his days, I reckon he never even had a banksman let alone a reverse cam!

                  “We’ve had an artic down here” is the one I get.

                          Best on I got I arrived at a drop near Llandudno north wales and there was a diversion I asked this police officer can I get an artic down that lane we're diverted on he said 'yes drive you can get down there, just had a Mercedes sprinter long wheelbase get down no problem' [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
                          Okay officer I'm pretty sure my artic can do the same [emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji23][emoji23]

                            Or......the one I used to get was.....a ******* artic for one pallet/box.

                            Obviously the halfwits don't realise that you left with a full trailer and you've done a dozen or so drops before there drop.....fukwits
